Abstract
In 2012, Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) leaders, staff, families, students, and community partners launched an ambitious effort to transform the district into a community school district. What started as a pilot in mostly secondary schools has expanded to become a far-reaching district strategy across all school levels. Currently, 42 OUSD schools have Community School Managers and most schools have some elements of community schools programming. As OUSD enters a new phase of planning and strategy, this brief provides an opportunity to reflect back on progress made and prospects for development moving forward. The three briefs in this series present findings from the third and final year of the present study, focusing on system-, school-, and student-level outcomes. These findings will guide district leaders' efforts to scale-up and select appropriate implementation strategies to achieve OUSD's long-term ambition to become the nation's first full-service community school district. [The Gardner Center would like to acknowledge OUSD partners as well as the Kaiser Foundation Hospital Fund for Community Benefit Programs at East Bay Community Foundation for their support.
